“There's no such as 100% - we just try and raise the bar” - we hear what it takes to help secure the world’s largest PC maker from the man in charge of Lenovo’s AI and security (www.techradar.com)

Lenovo’s chief security and AI officer Doug Fisher outlined how the company secures one of the world’s largest PC makers by blending culture, process and AI-aware governance. He stresses that security is everyone’s responsibility—backed by CEO support and manager-led encouragement—because threats evolve faster than siloed teams can respond. Lenovo combats human risk through expanded training, phishing-awareness, and by acknowledging work-pattern changes (like hybrid teams and demographic differences) that raise susceptibility. Fisher is candid: there’s “no such thing as 100%” security—so the goal is to continually “raise the bar” so attackers move on. On AI, Fisher described a dual-edged reality: AI powers detection (anomaly spotting, threat testing, infrastructure checks) and development productivity, but also arms attackers. Lenovo’s Responsible AI committee reviews “thousands” of internal projects to enforce safe, customer-first usage and to preserve human oversight—advocating augmentation, not replacement, of human decision-making. The company treats its security and AI governance posture as a competitive advantage and actively collaborates across industry and NGOs to shape standards. For the AI/ML community, the takeaway is clear: bake responsible governance and human-in-the-loop controls into systems, invest in continuous training, and accept risk reduction—not elimination—as the operational premise.
